CVE-2007-2401: CRLF injection vulnerability in WebCore in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4.9 and later, and iPhone before 1.0.1...

CRLF injection vulnerability in WebCore in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4.9 and later, and iPhone before 1.0.1, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via LF characters in an XMLHttpRequest request, which are not filtered when serializing headers via the setRequestHeader function. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in Apple WebCore allowed malicious web content to inject HTTP headers through XMLHttpRequest. In practical terms, a user visiting a crafted page could have browser requests altered in ways that may support cross-site scripting. The bundle does not show active exploitation, but affected legacy Apple platforms should be considered obsolete exposure. Exposure is mainly legacy Apple WebCore/Safari environments matching the CVE description. Modern fleets are unlikely to run these versions, but forgotten legacy Macs, test devices, kiosks, or archived mobile devices could remain exposed. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless affected systems are internet-browsing production assets. Prioritize remediation where old Apple clients handle sensitive sessions or browse untrusted sites. Mitigation focus: Inventory Apple clients for the affected Mac OS X and iPhone versions.; Apply the relevant Apple security updates or upgrade beyond affected versions.; Retire or isolate unsupported Apple systems that cannot receive fixes..
